The Denver Animal Care and Control offers a rabies vaccination clinic for cats and dogs.
 
Vaccination Days / Hours:
Every Wednesday and Thursday unless otherwise posted
  • Wednesday's for  Dogs from 2:30 pm to 4:45 pm.
  • Thursday's for Cats from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

Cost: $20 (includes rabies, distemper/parvo) and a one year license for Denver County residents or out of county residents that use Denver dog parks).

The Clinic is open to everyone. You do not have to be a resident of the City and County of Denver to receive a vaccination for your pet. If you are a resident of the City and County of Denver, a dog or cat license is included with the cost of the vaccination. The license will be sent to you by mail the following week.

Puppies and kittens under 3 months of age will only receive the distemper/parvo or feline distemper vaccination. When your pet is old enough, you may bring it back for the rabies vaccination.

Your pet will not receive a vaccination if it is sick, pregnant or nursing.

** We do not vaccinate Pit bull breeds or any dog mixed with a Pit bull breed even if you reside in another County.

If you have a pet that may be vicious or unpredictable towards people or other pets they must be muzzled when they are brought to the shelter for a vaccination.

If you have any questions please feel free to call us at (303) 698-0076 and we will be happy to assist you.

 Microchip Information
License your pet and make sure it wears a collar with his/her tags at all times.

 
Denver Animal Care and Control will microchip your dog or cat for $25.  Your pet must be over two pounds (2lbs) to receive a microchip. 
 
You do not have to be a Denver County resident, we want to ensure if any pet gets lost it will be returned back to the owner. 
 
A microchip identification implant can identify your pet if it loses its collar. Most shelters can scan pets for this type of ID, and your contact information is kept on a shared registry.
